DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – March 21, 2019
High Salary PG
Players costing over $6,250
Devin Booker (vs DET – $8,800): Needs 42 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 44.5 fantasy points against Chicago. I keep telling you, Devin Booker is the best player in the league after the All-Star break because he has nothing to play for and teams don’t really give a full effort against the Suns. There is nothing more dangerous than this version of Devin Booker. The Pistons are a fine team but erratic and Suns play hard because they want to act like we should believe in this next season. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
Donovan Mitchell (at ATL – $8,200): Needs 39.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 44.25 fantasy points against New York. It’s a back-to-back for the Jazz but they got the Knicks on Wednesday and they get the Hawks on Thursday. So does that really count? This pace is going to favor Mitchell in a big way and it should lead to a big game for him, as long as the minutes are there and this isn’t a blowout. You can save money and go with Trae Young who will likely show out unless the Jazz decide to play defense. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
De’Aaron Fox (vs DAL – $7,300): Needs 35.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 46 fantasy points against Brooklyn. The Kings are down to their last stand after a historic collapse against the Nets. They get a Mavericks team on a back-to-back who aren’t very good on the road. Fox will bring his best and try to do what he can to maybe lift the Kings into the playoffs. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
